Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can occur after a threatening or traumatic event. It usually occurs because the memory is so frightening or uncomfortable that the brain doesn't process it completely and it remains fresh as though it is happening again. In these cases it can come back to re-traumatize you on any day or sometimes every day unless you avoid reminders. Join others who have been experiencing something similar to learn about what is happening in your brain and what you can do to move towards processing the memory which will bring healing and recovery.

I am a counsellor, sexologist and clinical supervisor with experience working with clients who have been in the same place you are. Just like a plant, you need water, sun and a safe place to grow. I provide the space for you to focus on your stuckness and to safely sit in the uncomfortableness. Trauma, guilt, anxiety and anger can hold you back from living. Maybe your relationship needs a jump start. Intimacy may no longer exist. Life can be hard sometimes but you don't have to do it on your own. I am here to walk with you along your journey. There is a way forward, a way to feed your soul and a way to let the light in.
Our training program, acknowledged by renowned MNCs like Johnson & Johnson and healthcare sector training organizations like the HKSPT, empowers managers, healthcare professionals, teachers, and parents with theoretical and practical neuroscientific play therapy, social-emotional, and creativity training to understand better and meet the emotional and behavioural needs of their staff, clients, students, and children. The program covers neuroscience, Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, play therapy mechanisms, research, clinical cases, techniques, SEL, and creativity presented in the actionable BREAD model, i.e. Boundary Setting & Enforcement, Reflective Techniques, Emotion Expression & Exploration, Assertive Boundary Needs Communication, and Deriving Win-Win Solutions.
Our play therapy approach combines the power of play and creative arts with social-emotional learning and creative problem-solving guided by over ten years of experience play therapist. This empowers our clients, giving them the tools to externalize their unconscious emotions that cannot be explained and thought about and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery of the underlying needs behind their emotions and behaviours. Thus, they are empowered to develop and experiment with win-win solutions. This process fosters self-confidence, prosociality, and maturity, inspiring our clients to realize their full potential.

The name of my business, Thinking Outside The Box (TOTB) says everything about my beliefs and my business. When we Think Outside The Box, our worlds become bigger. Mental ill health or mental distress causes us to focus inwards and our lives become smaller. We stop doing things because the work that goes into managing a distressing situation is exhausting. You are reading this right now because you know or feel that something is not quite right in your life. This may be something you have felt for as long as you can remember or a recent event. Doesn't matter, your here now so lets see how we can help.

Sometimes Life gets bit much. Life starts unravelling or getting overwhelming, at times. We find ourselves needing a caring, empathic person to listen to and understand us, and we want the best support for us, so we can move forward, heal, grow, or get our life back on track. When you're going through the hard times, having someone in your corner who has ideas for us, where we can improve our life, overcome our troubles and feel we are getting somewhere, this can make a big difference. Whether you're facing some big issues in your life, or wanting more out of Life, or to grow, heal from the past, I can support you.
After completing the Complex Trauma/cPTSD Basics to Recovery, or a similar program, you might want to attend the advanced program for further monitoring and support to make your road to recovery even shorter and smoother. As you will have made some necessary changes for your health and well-being to emerge, your world will start to be different, especially because your relationships with people will improve or fall away if they were too unhealthy to fix. You will learn what to look out for, how to navigate these changes in future and you will be supported on the way.

Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a modified type of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Its main goals are to teach people how to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others. DBT was originally intended to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD), but it has been adapted to treat other mental health conditions. It can help people who have difficulty with emotional regulation or are exhibiting self-destructive behaviours. 10 week modules open to anyone receiving individual therapy at Start Psychology and aged 18 or older.
